Thankful Thursday Jan. 26, 2017, fun with Hyacinths

 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
 but the word of our God endures forever.”

Isaiah 40:8 NIV

Greetings Sweet Friends,


Hope you have all had a lovely week.


I think that ours has been lovely....lol
I am trying to remember what all has
gone on this week,  had to scroll thru
 my thankful list a minute, and yes,
it has been............lol

One thing I got to enjoy this week
 was watching these hyacinths grow 
amazingly fast.  When I brought it
home Sunday before last I forgot 
to take a picture, but if you look 
at the picture after #2, you will see 
there are 2 pods. When I brought
it home the big one looked just
like the smaller pod, and 2 days
later it looked like the header
picture, could not believe it grew
 so fast. Then once the pods get 
bigger they start opening up and
 the fragrance is heavenly. If
you have never gotten any, they
are really fun and they were only
 $4 vase and all, at the grocery 
store.  Anyway, took some pics
 almost daily.
If you look at the next to the
last pic where the flowers look
 sort of yellow, it was because
it got so heavy it fell out of the
 vase onto the table top and I
 didn't know it....so it was out 
of the water awhile, and even 
tho I put it back in guess the 
damage was already done and
 it just got looking worse,  so
finally had to cut it off and
now just have the small one,
but it was fun and fragrant
while it lasted.......lol
So thought I would let you
 see the beauty too.

Well, on with my post.

I am thankful

#1

that my daughter-in-love and

Granddaughter got to go and

visit my daughter for the week-

end and that they had a great

time, and that they made it

to Charleston and back safe

and sound, especially on 

Sunday with all the bad

weather.

#2

that all our family faired well

in the bad storms on Sunday.

We were under Tornado watch

for about 40 mins. but thank-

fully we had none.  PTL

#3

for our home. Was just walking
across the house and had this
overwhelming feeling for how
much I love our home.  That
happens every so often....and
in March on my hubbies birth-
day we will have lived here
for 36 years.

#4
for a really longg phone call with
one of my dear friend's, Becky.
 We have not talked or seen each
other since sometime in late 
November or early December,
 so it was great to catch up

#5
for my techy husband, cause
 without him I would never be 
able to continue blogging.
He figured out how to put
the new featured post gadget 
on for me this week.
Thanks Honey!!

#6
for Salted Caramel Heath Bar cake
 from our local Publix bakery. 
 It is amazing!


#7
for a new President who has
 consulted and thankfully.....listened to
 highly respected biblical leaders in our
 country, and realizes that if we want
 God to Bless America, then we have
 to do things according to his biblical
 standards. It doesn't mean we have to 
like him personally or agree with his 
every decision.....cause we don't agree 
totally with every decision that most 
people make......and that is life........

#8
that my daughter and son-in-love
 got over their stomach flu bug
 very quickly, guess it was just
a 24 hr. bug., Thankfully!


#9
for sleeping a whole 9 hrs. and 
 feeling great today! For some
 reason I have been waking up 
about 5 or 5:30 every morning
 and can't go back to sleep, 
so was having a lil sleep
 deprivation this week.

#10
that we got to see our son, Scott
 yesterday when he came to get lil 
darling, as he has been quite busy
 and out of town a lot

#11
for Scott's thougthfulness....
he brought his dad coffee and an
 iced coffee drink for me from
Starbucks....so that was sweet.

#12

for the delight of watching hundreds
of crows (we think it was) fly over
us as we were in the backyard today.
and for about 50, I would say Robins
(we think, as they had a red breast)
that were in our yard and our neigh-
bors yard yesterday afternoon when
we walked Scott and the lil darling
out into the front yard. I have seen
Robins in our yard before but not
all that often, so to see a whole
flock was quite interesting!
Love these divine surprises.....

Thanks for dropping by and hope
 you had a good time.


Have a great rest of the week.


Love, Hugs, and
Last of January Blessings,
Nellie
